Some years ago, the faculty of Yale's Film Studies Progam produced a list. This list comprises 160 films from 23 countries, spanning 102 years of film history. Every student in the graduate program is examined on the contents of this list. Teaching is oriented around this list. Colloquially this list is known as the canon. In 2013 / 2014 the FCCSS is challenging the temporal, geographic and generic boundaries of the canon. We have curated two semesters of screenings which pair films included within Yale's canon with those which have been excluded from it. This year we are Re-Building the canon. For information about screening times see the Screenings page.
